Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Don't think I've ever seen a 25.4 seatpost that long on anything but a BMX bike, and they're usually laybacks.

what I need to do is sit down and get some proper measurements done, fit calc them, and see what ballpark I could look in for frame sizes. I kinda want a track frame so upgrading parts wouldnt be such a hassle, but all I can find is the 63cm kilo pro, which may also be vastly undersized. sorry for taking the thread off topic, back to the bikes

Thanks, gents.

Yeah, the multicolor tape and straps thing got a little tiring kind of fast.

A little daytime pic taken today, for a better look. Aaaaaaaaand, I think we're officially done.

Current state of big block for winter. Also from the first roll I shot with my new (to me) mamiya m645, so I'm glad to see it functions correctly.

Finally getting back into the game. Bought my buddy's old 2006 Langster, am slowly making it what I want it to be. Rides great as-is, a few more upgrades will only make it better.

Beautiful, I've always been a fan of GTBs, it looks much better with all black components!
